Cultural Relevance and Acceptability of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Techniques Adapted by AI or a Human Psychologist: Experimental Study
Overview
This experimental study compares how Arabic-speaking refugees and immigrants perceive the cultural relevance and acceptability of CBT techniques adapted by AI versus a human psychologist. The research specifically examines cognitive restructuring and behavior modification texts translated into participants' native languages. Results indicate that AI-adapted materials were rated as more culturally relevant in initial assessments, with no significant differences found regarding overall acceptability.
